Most of us anxiously wait for tax-return season so we can buy a new gadget, or redecorate a room or take a much-needed trip, and while there is nothing wrong with splurging on yourself, some people chose to use the money a little differently.Christina Knaack, a single mom and recovering addict from South Carolina never thought she'd go viral after sharing a message about her tax return on her Facebook.

"I got back $5600 on my taxes. Instead of buying my kids the latest Jordans or fancy electronics I paid my rent for the YEAR," wrote Knaack. "I'm a single mom and I do it all buy myself on a minimum wage job. I kno [sic] that a roof over my kids' head is what's important. My kids don't want for anything because my priorities are straight. And this also means I will have that extra 450 a month to do things with my kids."People sent all kinds of comments to Knaack, some positive and others not so much.

Many commentors posted things like "good job" or "smart thinking" or a short congratulatory comment.

"What about not having children until you make more than minimum wage?" said another comment.

Other posts suggested she should have started saving towards a house, while others still seemed unimpressed that she was just doing the obvious "adult" thing.

No matter their opinions, Knaack is still proud of her decision.

"I made [the post] public so if anyone shared it, others could see it in hopes a recovering addict would see it and see that life off the streets is possible and for any single moms to kno [sic] it is possible to survive on ur [sic] own. As long as my post has inspired people I'm happy with that."
